— The New Testament Church is a parenthetical institution designed to fill the gap between the ancient kingdom of Israel and a more glorious future kingdom of the same order.¹⁰ The primary mission of the Church is not to evangelize the world, but simply to take out from among the Gentiles a limited number of people for Christs name.¹¹ When this number has been reached, the church age will come to a sudden close, and national Israel will come back into view as God’s representative and evangelistic people.¹²
